Cool Carbon Creations MS wing M1 review

Hello Rexers
I received my Carbon Creations Mazdaspeed Style wing and would like to share my pre-install findings.

The carbon fiber quality looks good, clearcoat is smooth.
The brackets are surprisingly cheap (pics below). The casting and finish is junk and looks so thin in places I feel it may tear up at high speed.

I would expect the included quality from ebay stuff but I thought CC was legit quality brand . burned there

Also, the bottom lip came with a deep chip that damaged the carbon fiber.
Bracket is loose on one side, not sure if that matters when mounted. I have not even test fit yet so hoping that is lined up!

There was no mounting tape or real hardware included other than 4 bolts.

I don't know why you thought they were a quality brand, they have had a rep of being cheap crap forever.

Shixt, no garage or shade but I will wax it.

I read a few posts saying they are good, and I did not find any CF Ms style wings of any other brand.

They actually said if I destroy the item and send pictures they will refund the total :-*

Lame CC
